Exactly as I show you concerning the pattern of the tabernacle, and of all its furniture, so you shall make it.

Having gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, let us use them: if prophecy, in proportion to our faith;if service, in our serving; the one who teaches, in his teaching;the one who exhorts, in his exhortation; the one who contributes, in generosity; the one who leads, with zeal; the one who does acts of mercy, with cheerfulness.

And all the craftsmen among the workmen made the tabernacle with ten curtains. They were made of fine twined linen and blue and purple and scarlet yarns, with cherubim skillfully worked.The length of each curtain was twenty-eight cubits, and the breadth of each curtain four cubits. All the curtains were the same size.He coupled five curtains to one another, and the other five curtains he coupled to one another.He made loops of blue on the edge of the outermost curtain of the first set. Likewise he made them on the edge of the outermost curtain of the second set.He made fifty loops on the one curtain, and he made fifty loops on the edge of the curtain that was in the second set. The loops were opposite one another.And he made fifty clasps of gold, and coupled the curtains one to the other with clasps. So the tabernacle was a single whole.He also made curtains of goats’ hair for a tent over the tabernacle. He made eleven curtains.The length of each curtain was thirty cubits, and the breadth of each curtain four cubits. The eleven curtains were the same size.He coupled five curtains by themselves, and six curtains by themselves.And he made fifty loops on the edge of the outermost curtain of the one set, and fifty loops on the edge of the other connecting curtain.And he made fifty clasps of bronze to couple the tent together that it might be a single whole.And he made for the tent a covering of tanned rams’ skins and goatskins.

The sons of Ladan, the sons of the Gershonites belonging to Ladan, the heads of the fathers’ houses belonging to Ladan the Gershonite: Jehieli.The sons of Jehieli, Zetham, and Joel his brother, were in charge of the treasuries of the house of the Lord.

“ You shall make a screen for the entrance of the tent, of blue and purple and scarlet yarns and fine twined linen, embroidered with needlework.And you shall make for the screen five pillars of acacia, and overlay them with gold. Their hooks shall be of gold, and you shall cast five bases of bronze for them.

He also made a screen for the entrance of the tent, of blue and purple and scarlet yarns and fine twined linen, embroidered with needlework,and its five pillars with their hooks. He overlaid their capitals, and their fillets were of gold, but their five bases were of bronze.

And I said to them,“ You are holy to the Lord, and the vessels are holy, and the silver and the gold are a freewill offering to the Lord, the God of your fathers.Guard them and keep them until you weigh them before the chief priests and the Levites and the heads of fathers’ houses in Israel at Jerusalem, within the chambers of the house of the Lord.”So the priests and the Levites took over the weight of the silver and the gold and the vessels, to bring them to Jerusalem, to the house of our God.

He put in place the screen for the door of the tabernacle.

And when the tabernacle was taken down, the sons of Gershon and the sons of Merari, who carried the tabernacle, set out.

This charge I entrust to you, Timothy, my child, in accordance with the prophecies previously made about you, that by them you may wage the good warfare,

This is the service of the clans of the Gershonites, in serving and bearing burdens:they shall carry the curtains of the tabernacle and the tent of meeting with its covering and the covering of goatskin that is on top of it and the screen for the entrance of the tent of meetingand the hangings of the court and the screen for the entrance of the gate of the court that is around the tabernacle and the altar, and their cords and all the equipment for their service. And they shall do all that needs to be done with regard to them.All the service of the sons of the Gershonites shall be at the command of Aaron and his sons, in all that they are to carry and in all that they have to do. And you shall assign to their charge all that they are to carry.This is the service of the clans of the sons of the Gershonites in the tent of meeting, and their guard duty is to be under the direction of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest.

Then Hezekiah commanded them to prepare chambers in the house of the Lord, and they prepared them.And they faithfully brought in the contributions, the tithes, and the dedicated things. The chief officer in charge of them was Conaniah the Levite, with Shimei his brother as second,while Jehiel, Azaziah, Nahath, Asahel, Jerimoth, Jozabad, Eliel, Ismachiah, Mahath, and Benaiah were overseers assisting Conaniah and Shimei his brother, by the appointment of Hezekiah the king and Azariah the chief officer of the house of God.And Kore the son of Imnah the Levite, keeper of the east gate, was over the freewill offerings to God, to apportion the contribution reserved for the Lord and the most holy offerings.Eden, Miniamin, Jeshua, Shemaiah, Amariah, and Shecaniah were faithfully assisting him in the cities of the priests, to distribute the portions to their brothers, old and young alike, by divisions,except those enrolled by genealogy, males from three years old and upward— all who entered the house of the Lord as the duty of each day required— for their service according to their offices, by their divisions.The enrollment of the priests was according to their fathers’ houses; that of the Levites from twenty years old and upward was according to their offices, by their divisions.They were enrolled with all their little children, their wives, their sons, and their daughters, the whole assembly, for they were faithful in keeping themselves holy.

They shall keep guard over him and over the whole congregation before the tent of meeting, as they minister at the tabernacle.

And he spread the tent over the tabernacle and put the covering of the tent over it, as the Lord had commanded Moses.

Thus they were to keep charge of the tent of meeting and the sanctuary, and to attend the sons of Aaron, their brothers, for the service of the house of the Lord.

And Hezekiah appointed the divisions of the priests and of the Levites, division by division, each according to his service, the priests and the Levites, for burnt offerings and peace offerings, to minister in the gates of the camp of the Lord and to give thanks and praise.

It is like a man going on a journey, when he leaves home and puts his servants in charge, each with his work, and commands the doorkeeper to stay awake.

Of the Levites: Shemaiah the son of Hasshub, son of Azrikam, son of Hashabiah, of the sons of Merari;and Bakbakkar, Heresh, Galal and Mattaniah the son of Mica, son of Zichri, son of Asaph;and Obadiah the son of Shemaiah, son of Galal, son of Jeduthun, and Berechiah the son of Asa, son of Elkanah, who lived in the villages of the Netophathites.The gatekeepers were Shallum, Akkub, Talmon, Ahiman, and their kinsmen( Shallum was the chief);until then they were in the king’s gate on the east side as the gatekeepers of the camps of the Levites.Shallum the son of Kore, son of Ebiasaph, son of Korah, and his kinsmen of his fathers’ house, the Korahites, were in charge of the work of the service, keepers of the thresholds of the tent, as their fathers had been in charge of the camp of the Lord, keepers of the entrance.And Phinehas the son of Eleazar was the chief officer over them in time past; the Lord was with him.Zechariah the son of Meshelemiah was gatekeeper at the entrance of the tent of meeting.All these, who were chosen as gatekeepers at the thresholds, were 212. They were enrolled by genealogies in their villages. David and Samuel the seer established them in their office of trust.So they and their sons were in charge of the gates of the house of the Lord, that is, the house of the tent, as guards.The gatekeepers were on the four sides, east, west, north, and south.And their kinsmen who were in their villages were obligated to come in every seven days, in turn, to be with these,for the four chief gatekeepers, who were Levites, were entrusted to be over the chambers and the treasures of the house of God.And they lodged around the house of God, for on them lay the duty of watching, and they had charge of opening it every morning.Some of them had charge of the utensils of service, for they were required to count them when they were brought in and taken out.Others of them were appointed over the furniture and over all the holy utensils, also over the fine flour, the wine, the oil, the incense, and the spices.Others, of the sons of the priests, prepared the mixing of the spices,and Mattithiah, one of the Levites, the firstborn of Shallum the Korahite, was entrusted with making the flat cakes.Also some of their kinsmen of the Kohathites had charge of the showbread, to prepare it every Sabbath.Now these, the singers, the heads of fathers’ houses of the Levites, were in the chambers of the temple free from other service, for they were on duty day and night.

And say to Archippus,“ See that you fulfill the ministry that you have received in the Lord.”

Two wagons and four oxen he gave to the sons of Gershon, according to their service.
